MAP: Has Fox News Campaigned For Republicans Near You?

At least 32 Fox News hosts and contributors have campaigned for Republican candidates and organizations this election cycle. The campaigning has occurred nationally and in 42 states. Fox News figures helped raise and spend hundreds of millions of dollars this cycle in support of Republicans. They have also been featured in at least 105 fundraisers across the country.

To show the extent and reach of this effort, Media Matters inputted more than 300 Fox campaign instances into Google Maps. This data is intended to be a snapshot of Fox's campaign activity and not an absolute count. Since many Republican events are not publicly promoted, this report undoubtedly undercounted the extent of Fox's campaigning.

On December 7, President-elect Donald Trump named Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt as his pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Media should take note of Pruitt’s climate science denial, his deep ties to the energy industries he will be charged with regulating, and his long record of opposition to EPA efforts to reduce air and water pollution and combat climate change.

President-elect Donald Trump has picked -- or considered -- nearly a dozen people who have worked in right-wing media, including talk radio, right-wing news sites, Fox News, and conservative newspapers, to fill his administration. And Trump himself made weekly guest appearances on Fox for a number of years while his vice president used to host a conservative talk radio show.
